Let me hold you

Chapter twelve

okay guys,I know you hate me now. I haven't updated in a while. but i'll make it up to you some how. It's summer so now I'll be able to upload once or twice a week. And no more high school FOREVER! Yes, I graduated :) did anyone else graduate this year (GO 2011 WHOOP WHOOP)

Don't you just hate it when you're really pumped about something and you think you know what you want to do. Well I do. When Ms. Kate was talking about the talent show, in my head I could just picture myself singing to a upbeat song. But now, I got nothing. I don't know what to do.

Now I feel like dancing to a song for the talent show. Or maybe I can dance and sing. Ohhh but everybody will probably do that. Damn. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"So...I was thinking about doing the...talent show," Gaz said walking into my room. My eyes went wide.

"You, Gaz wanna do the talent show. Are you sick?" She rolled her eyes and sat on the bed.

"Eh does everyone keep saying that." I chuckled at her.

"Oh, well if you need help I'm not the best person to come to right now because I'm stuck on what to do."

"That's why I came in here. I was thinking maybe we could do something together." I raised my brow.

"Why the sudden interest, Gaz." She sighed.

"Aaron says that I should be more...open." I got a big goofy grin on my face.

"ohhh. Who's Aaron? Is that the boy that was in the picture." She nodded. "So, he's your boyfriend?"

"Don't tell Dib."

"Cross my heart. Wow, you must really like him."

"Yeah. He's..wonderful," she said in a quiet voice. I never knew Gaz to be like this.

I wish I had someone like that," I said.

"Hmm, I thought you and Zim had something going on." My eyes went wide. I almost dropped the CD I had in my hand.

"Ummm, what are you going on about."

"I just saw you two today is all," she said shrugging.

"Oh, well no..nothing is going on between us."

"Ooookay."

"Gaz."

"Okay.

Gaz and I had spent all night trying to find a good song for us to sing and maybe dance to. And I gotta tell ya. It wasn't easy. We have two totally different tastes. She was a Rocky, Pop,punk girl and I was a Hip-Hopy, R&B, country girl. We just about got into a fight over the best singer.

At least today was Friday. That way we can have the whole weekend to find something. The talent show was next Friday. I wanted to have a song by Monday. I don't think you know this, but the winner gets $150! I know, so exciting. I wanted to win so badly.

I never knew how far the school was until now. It might be quick in a car, but walking, that's another story. Aaron had picked up Gaz and I oped to just walk and give them some alone time. Now I wish I hadn't. It's too hot to be walking.

I wish I had someone like Aaron, he was nice.

Zim

Sigh. Why was I so difficult. I'm not scared to admit it. I am difficult. I'm a lot of things. Well at certain times. Like a bitch, I was selfish, A manipulator, mean, hateful, prideful, and other junk. Maybe I should work on that and why do I hear singing. It wasn't coming from my head, but behind me. Whoever it was was a really good singer. I would get their CD.

I took a look behind me and almost fell flat on my face. I take back everything I said. I would NOT buy her CD. Bianta. She was behind me singing and smiling like a maniac. She gave me a smirk. A "I'm better than you" kind of smirk. Bitch! So of course me being me, I decided to show her my stuff. I slowed down my pace so that I was walking next to her and started to sing.

"Outta bed at the crack of noon
Blare the music and have a swoon
I can't stop thinkin of your face
La la lee la lee loo lace

I'm six feet under the Bhodi Tree
With my crap new-age philosophy
Diamonds where there once were stars
I'm sittin in Jayne Mansfeild's car

Yea yea-a I'm independence
Yea yea-a I'm borderline
Yea yea-a I'm California
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my heart's on overdrive"

Her eyes were a little wide. What? did the bitch think I couldn't sing. She rolled her eyes and busted out into another song

"I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one"

I'm not gonna lie, but I really love that song and she sounded real nice singing it. Not that I would admit it to her. So I can back at her with one of my big notes.

"When my heart was never open
(and my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not envision
All the colors of love and of life ever more
Evermore

I see me through your eyes

Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
And live through your love
And live through your life

I see you
I see you"

When I was done I heard clapping. What the...I noticed that Bianta and I were at school surrounded by a groups of people. I was happy and Bianta looked annoyed just because they heard me sing and not her. Grow up. Well, I can do a little of that myself too. she crossed her arms.

"You may be a good singer, but I'm better," said said getting all up in my bubble. I chuckled and crossed my arms too. I was a good six inches taller than her. Her head came up to my chin. Oh course I would use my height against anyone that I was taller than as an advantage of intimidation.

"We'll see about that at the talent show next Friday, Bianta." We both narrowed our eyes at each other.

"We will and maybe I'll get the guy too," she said so only I could hear. "Green is my color." With that she walked away. Zim? what the hell does she want with him. I turned around and watched her walk inside before she turned and gave me those mockery kissy lips. (think of Tina in Bring it on Again) I flicked her off and walked up the steps.

Yay. Chapter done. I had no idea what to write. I was stuck for a while. So I just decided to do a little more Bianca and Bianta rivalry.

the first lyric is from the song OVERDRIVE by: Katy Rose

the second lyric is from the song TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE by: Boys Like Girls with Taylor Swift

the third lyric is from the song I SEE YOU by: Leona Lewis ( one of my favorite songs. Maybe because it was from AVATAR. Love that movie)

anyway next chapter should be here by Saturday. Maybe early if I feel inspired
